Postsynaptic adaptations in direct pathway muscarinic M4-receptor signaling follow the temporal and regional pattern of dopaminergic degeneration

Imbalances in dorsal striatum output in Parkinson's disease are driven by dopamine loss and disrupted acetylcholine signaling. These changes occur in response to dopamine loss, affecting M4 receptors in striatal neurons, crucial for PD progression.
